MAKING NIGHT HIDEOUS.
To the Ruiter of the " Hongkong Telegraph.“
DEAR SIR,-"Re Public Nusiances." Some Hongkong peeple have lately been complaining
of the noisy Boiler-makers around them.
May I point out through your valuable paper that if these people would try life in a certain part of Kowloon for a few days and nights amongst the pianos and top notes after 12 p.m. they would be glad to get back to Hongkong again, away from the noise, and get a decent night's rest.
Yours truly,

THE LATE PRESIDENT.
SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN PRESS.
It is very evident from the American journals that the murder of the late President McKinley has induced a great outburst of universal execration of anarchy and anarchists. The tone of many publications is intensely bitter, and one and all are agreed that it is time for society to deal with those "jaundiced people. who have been, diseased by the yellow press which has now attained its savage ambition
Yellow journalism," says one, "by foul cartoons and reckless lying and bitter attacks, did its share to bring about the awful tragedy of Friday," while another in even more bitter terms remarks that the crime is "a most terri- almost directly to yellow journalism." The San Francisco Call, in referring to anarchy, says:
made its appearance in the European quarters, has doubtless, stimulated the official element in the colony to take the more resolute action to cope with the difficulty indicated by recent mail advices. Sir Henry Blake's despatch to the Colonial Secretary sets forth clearly enough such measures as have been taken to combat the plague during the present year; but, in the opinion, apparently, of the majority in the colony, it is not so much a question of the things that have been done, as of the very obvious things that have been left undone. So far back as 1882, and again in 1889. Mr. Chadwick, in exhaustive repone, regard to the sanilation of Hongkong, and, if these recommendations had been carried out, it is more than probable that the plague out. breaks in the colony would have been far less frequent and severe than they have been. However that may be, the local Administra- tion has now resolved that something must be done, and it is be hoped that if, as the Governor requests, an eminent engineer visits the colony to investigate the general sanitation of the port, the result of his labours may be to devise and angest measures which, when carried into effect, will lamp out the plague once and for all. In any case it is not a time to indulge in mutual re
to
Criminations. The Administration in the past may have made mistakes, but no good can be accomplished now in dwelling too much on that aspect of the matter. What is wanted is that the whole community, officials and private residents, should combine as one man to do everything in their power to grapple successfully
